Development of Unlabeled Probe Based High-Resolution Melting Analysis for Detection of Filaggrin Gene Mutation c.3321delA.


ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Filaggrin gene (FLG) plays an important role in skin barrier function, and loss-of-function mutations of FLG have been shown to be a predisposing factor for atopic dermatitis (AD). The c.3321delA mutation is the most common FLG mutation in Chinese population. We aim to develop a rapid, cost-efficiency, and reliable closed-tube method that has not been described for the detection of c.3321delA mutation. METHODS:Recombinant wild-type and mutant plasmids of c.3321delA mutation were constructed, heterozygous mutant plasmids were prepared by mixing the mutant plasmids and wild-type plasmids at 1:1 ratio. High-resolution melting analysis (HRMA) coupled with an unlabeled DNA probe was employed to identify the shift in melting temperature of the probe-template complex, which reflects the presence of c.3321delA mutation. RESULTS:Unlabeled probe based HRMA was able to distinguish all three genotypes (wild-type, heterozygote, and mutant) of c.3321delA mutation. Then, we applied this method to genotype 1,317 clinical samples. Genotyping results obtained from unlabeled probe HRMA were 100% concordant with the results from direct sequencing. CONCLUSION:We developed a fast and high-throughput method to detect the c.3321delA mutation.
